Thomson Reuters Expands Cryptocurrency Data Offering

“News and social media are driving the investment and risk management process more than ever with the continuing rise of passive and quant-driven trading. As the financial marketplace rises in complexity, so too does the need to provide our clients with not only the relevant data but the tools to help them manage and analyze that data. MarketPsych 3.0 helps deliver another layer of analysis and value-add in the investing process.”

The cryptocurrency market is a highly volatile and liquid ecosystem. News events are constantly impacting on the price of bitcoin. For instance, the bitcoin price has slumped significantly since January 2018 due to factors like regulatory pressures and most recently, the Mt.Gox saga.

Therefore, with tools like the TRMI v3.0, professional traders become better equipped with valuable real-time information that is capable of influencing market movements, enabling them to make better decisions regarding the markets.
